We look at the division of 262608 by 74 
Our goal is to divide 262608 by 74.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
74 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 262 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 262 3 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 222 from 262 leaves us with 40.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 406 / 74

Step 4:
74 can be fit into 406 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we subtract 370 from 406, we get 36.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 360 / 74

On to step 5:
360 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 354.0
Deduct 296 from 360 and we're left with 64.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 648 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 goes into 648 8 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3548.0
If we subtract 592 from 648, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 560 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3548.7
If we take 518 away from 560, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 420 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3548.75
Subtract 370 from 420 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 500 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3548.756
Subtract 444 from 500 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 560 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3548.7567
Subtracting 518 from 560 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 420 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3548.75675
If we subtract 370 from 420, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 500 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3548.756756
Subtract 444 from 500 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 13:
560 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3548.7567567
If we subtract 518 from 560, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3548.75675675
If we subtract 370 from 420, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3548.75675675, and the remainder is 5e-08.
